"Oh, okay. Got it." Edison said, nodding. "Hey, uh, can you send her a text that she'll be seeing a red conure...?" He asked. Later, Eddie. Isac said and flapped his wings. He looked back at the snake. Snake... Isaac rose up and flew out from the open window, keys still in beak.

"Alright, I will." Kurosu said, texting Solaris again.
-
"A red conure, huh?" She whispered, as she flipped between her phone and her notes. "Alright then..." She replied, and she kept her phone, deciding to pay attention in class again.
-
"She says she got it..." Kurosu said. "So... looks like you're stuck here for a while... What are you going to do then?" Orochi perked up here, slithering down from his perch, positioning himself on the table in front of Edison.

Kei dazed off in class, her mind wandering elsewhere when her SA came to the window, a note in his beak. She saw the teacher was, fortunately, not looking in her direction, and she took the note, reading it. It was an excuse letter form her parents, she had to return home early to train. Standing up, she showed it to the teacher, walking in front of the class and placing waiting for the teacher to notice her. It only took a few seconds, and the teacher blinked as he read the note. He gave a nod, and the female grabbed her stuff, preparing to go home.
Passing by the hospital - it was on the way home - she saw Saria and Velvet in the hospital's garden, Saria with a bruise and red puffy eyes. Had she been crying? Walking up to the pair, she stopped behind Velvet.

"Not really sure. Just wait, I guess...?" He said, shrugging. "Hey, shouldn't you be in school as well?" He suddenly asked. Kurosu should be in school...he looked about 16 or 17. But then, shouldn't he be in school himself?

Kurosu sighed. "I told the teacher I was helping out at the hospital, since it was my shift... I may be a helper at the hospital, but I do take up any time slot. I really have no preference when it comes to the hospital, and as such I've been assigned to shifts that are during school hours, depending on how the other helpers are doing that day. Someone called out last minute, so I had to step in... Do you play games, by any chance? I do have a couple consoles somewhere in the house... Name something, I'll see if I can find it..." The males said, as he rummaged through the drawers below the tv. Orochi tilted his head, hissing at Edison, but going over to his bonded.

"I don't know. You got Grand Fantasia or Second Life? Hey, you ever heard of League of Angels? I've heard it's a pretty good online game. No download." He suggested. "I'm not a very big gamer." He admitted. "Oh, you have any books?" He suddenly asked. Books were always great. Mysteries, adventure, horror, ...romance...

"I used to play Grand Fantasia daily. Still have it on my com. And yeah, I didn't like how the game looked, so I didn't try playing LoA... But Second Life... No. I don't like those type of games. Unless they were anything like Half-Prince, or Sword Art Online. As for books, I do have quite a number..." Kurosu trailed off, trying to remember what books he head.

"And the winners are.... Team Niflheim!" The judge announced, and the two who fought smirked. Ren, who stood in the shadows till then, stepped into the light, standing behind his team mates, sneering at the crowd. "Too easy." He said, as along with his friends they raised their right hands in the air, and the crowd cheered.
"Niflheim, Niflheim, Niflheim!" The shouts raised in volume, till the judge had to cover his ears, and asked the crowd to quieten down.
"We have come to an end for today's tournament, so we hope that you'll all come and join us next time. Now, please enjoy the after-performance!" The sea of people went wild again, as Ren and his teammates walked off the stage, and the performers - a group of singers - came up in place of the team.
"How is Kai faring?" Tetsu asked Ren asked they entered the dark hallway behind the stage that led to their waiting rooms for their turn to play.
"He'll be fine. It's just an FPS training round for Aichi, isn't it?" Ren replied, bored. He glanced at his fingernails as they continued walking, Asaka replying Ren.
"Yeah. Kai offered to train him."
"Heh, then they'll be fine. Don't worry about it, Tetsu-san." Ren said. Tetsu gave a nod.

"Your left!"
Aichi turned his camera sharply, and barely killed the approaching man before he was attacked. On screen, the boy saw his partner's virtual avatar flashed across his screen, tackling a man in front of him. "Thanks." The brown haired male breathed out.
"We're partners, what do you expect?" The older boy replied, eyes glued to the screen as his fingers dances across his gamepad. They were at the house Ren's parents had built for his gaming, where there were high-tech equipment. Fortunately, while his parents disproved of his gaming, they weren't extremely against it, and would still buy him stuff to improve his skills so long as he does well.
Kair glanced over briefly at the motion figure system for Cardfight Vanguard, before returning to the screen. "They'll be back soon. I hope you can solo at least three waves on your own now..." Kai said, as they reached the save point and saved, quitting the game.
Aichi gulped. He and Kai were stand ins for Niflheim, since while Kai used to be the main third member, he switched out with Asaka - who was delighted, it was obvious she had a crush on Ren, who unsurprisingly didn't notice - to teach Aichi how to play games other than Vanguard, and to help him come up with strategies and what not.
"Here." Kai said, tossing Aichi his fight gloves. The boy yelped in surprise as he barely caught the gloves. He watched Kai slip on his white glove with orange-red accents, and Aichi followed his lead, pulling on his white and blue accented gloves. Both players grabbed their decks, and moved to the next room, where the 3D system was located. The room had two levels, the upper level for the watchers, and the ground level for the players. Ren, Tetsu and Asaka could walk in from the second level and watch the match, without disturbing the players. The house itself was big, being six levels, spanning across for all sort of games, and the players used this to their advantage, since Ren was always getting the latest stuff, and the entrance would only open to the members of their gaming group, as each of them had an identity card that was to be scanned by a scanner at the entrance, before the doors would open.
"Begin." Kai said simply, and the two prepared for a cardfight.

(Only saria can hear! It's the same with all your spirit animals!)

Saria gulped. "I've no idea...I'll probably end up going into care or something. My parents have been gone for a long time...not dead! " *i think*. "Just. Gone..." She stroked ralphina's head and awkwardly looked to her shoes. Just then , she noticed someone standing behind velvet and she jumped up out of fright. "BLOODY HELL!" She gasped. "How long have you been there?" Suddenly, ralphina's head snapped up. 'I smell blood.' She said panicked. Saria looked around. "Someone's injured. Ralphina smells blood, and lots of it." Saria told velvet panicked.

(Soltra, crystal25152, can saria join you, I think it would be better if all our characters were together...if that's ok with everyone.)

((Sorry I scared Saria >< And which chars? o.0 Kurosu is stuck at home looking after Edison who got shot in the leg and murdered people in the hospital while Solaris doesn't like breaking rules. Edit: Ren's group is at a competition while Kai and Aichi are at the club house... ))

Kei maintained a straight faced, but tugged her mask slightly upwards, keeping silent. Akairo perched on her left shoulder, where the guard for his claws were and cawed loudly. Kei glanced briefly at her SA before looking at Saria and Velvet.

Velvet turned and at seeing Kei, said enthusiastically, "Hey Kei! What's up?" And then, turning towards Saria again at her comment, she said, "Where? Can you have Ralphina guide us to the injured person or........... I can summon Celeste so she can take us there?"
